Michaela Decker
Counselor/Therapist, LMFT
If you are here, it’s probably because something’s just not right - you're feeling anxious, depressed or having problems with relationships, school, or work. If you are feeling stuck or disconnected from your relationship with others or yourself, you are in the right place to begin healing.
I provide support, accountability, and specific tools to navigate difficult situations. I am passionate about helping teens and adults manage difficult emotions, process relationship stressors, and overcome trauma. I have current availability for in person or online therapy and would love to chat with you to see if working together feels like it could be a good fit.

Samantha Kingma
Marriage and Family Therapist, MS, LMFT
Feeling like you can never catch up, even though you never sit down? Lying awake at night thinking through all the things you said that day that were ‘awkward’ or ‘wrong’? Running late to everything even though you try your absolute best to be on time? Maybe something just feels off, but you can’t quite put your finger on what it is - maybe you even say to yourself “this shouldn’t be this big of a deal”. And yet something is still keeping you stuck. Anxiety, OCD, perfectionism, and burnout can significantly impact the way your brain handles the stresses of day-to-day life. But there is hope – you don’t have to stay stuck. It is possible to feel like yourself again, and I'd love to talk to you about how you can get there. I provide specialized support for individuals and couples dealing with anxiety, OCD, trauma, and relationship difficulties. I will work with you to find the patterns in your life that may be causing problems and then collaborate with you to find new options and restorative solutions. You don’t have to walk through this difficulty alone, and I’d be honored to support you as you move toward healing. Visit my website or fill out the contact form to schedule a free phone consultation, and we can chat about what you’re looking for and whether I might be the right fit for you.

Brie Chandler
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
You may be feeling lost, anxious, and don't know why everything that used to work to feel better isn't now. Maybe it feels like your relationships are suffering, or like you've never even had a healthy one. Every little thing added to your plate feels so overwhelming and it might be easier just to shut down. You might worry you're "too much" or feel like you can't do anything right. At a young age you realized it felt safer to hide it all away and never stopped. You tell yourself, "everyone has childhood stuff, I'm fine," ...right? One thing you’re sure of is you want to feel better, safe, like you have direction. You’re ready to have quality relationships and leave behind old patterns. Most of all, you’re ready to feel good enough.

Michael Klinkner
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Making changes can be very difficult. I believe that therapy is about finding the inner strengths inside of yourself that can allow you to become the person you want to be. Whether you are healing from wounds from your past or looking to write a new future, change is possible. No two people go through this process in the same way, everyone's journey is very unique.
I have been working with children, teens and adults with a variety of issues for over 20 years. I have in depth experience with anxiety, trauma and depression along with the ways that those issues can affect the members of their family. I have worked in residential treatment, behavioral health hospitals and outpatient settings.
In the beginning, starting to change can seem overwhelming and maybe even impossible. I use approaches that embrace the idea that everyone is different and everyone can just with the right approach to the problem.

Jennifer Sander
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, CCTP, CCFP
My practice focuses on meeting the needs of individuals who (a) have difficulty managing the toll of a significant medical condition (cancer, chronic pain, HIV/AIDs, etc.) that impacts quality of life, and (b) individuals who are in helping roles and faced with burnout, compassion fatigue, and/or vicarious trauma. I create a safe place allowing you the ability to explore options that fit your values and goals. Each person's unique perspective and experience is honored in a nonjudgmental and compassionate space. As a medical patient and helping professional myself, I've found this approach most effective when I've been in similar shoes. I am dedicated to providing evidence-based, culturally competent, ethical services to the community. If you're interested in talking further to see if this can be a good fit, please feel free outreach. You are not alone!

Dr. Leigh Anne Randa
Psychologist, PhD
A human being, by nature, is full of contradictions. I believe a strong therapeutic alliance is essential to the therapy process. The experience of "feeling" seen, or felt, or heard, is the beginning of healing. Knowing that while you are unique, you are not alone. My belief is that strong therapy starts with the therapeutic relationship.

Ema Grant
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS LPC
So, it happened. She left, he died, they fired you - life is not going the way it's supposed to. Normally, you have it all together. You go to work, pay your bills, take care of your family, spend time with your friends. But now you can't sleep, can't eat, can't focus. Work is a mess, home is a mess, you're a mess. That stuff from your past is haunting you again. The voice is your head is tearing you down all the time. You're lonely, tired, angry, sad, scared - you're simply not okay. But when you try to talk to your friends or family about it, it gets awkward and one or both of you shuts down. You don't know what else to do. I've been there, when life has fallen apart and we're trying to pick up the pieces. When life has fallen apart and we're trying to pick up the pieces, we need a space to feel heard and understood. More importantly, we need to get feedback and learn new skills to start moving forward with life. Choosing to meet with a therapist and share your struggles and trauma is a bold, brave, deeply personal thing to do. I'd be honored to meet you and walk with you as you set down the bricks of your past and build a better life for yourself and your loved ones.

Kathy Gusenkov
Marriage and Family Therapist, MS, LMFT
Intimate relationships can be so challenging to navigate. It's natural to feel discouraged or hopeless if you've been experiencing difficulties in your relationship for a while. I know that it can feel really intimidating to face your relationship issues together with your partner, let alone to ask for support from a therapist -- it's so vulnerable! I totally get it -- I've been there too. I'm a couple therapist who has gone through couple therapy, more than once! I understand how vulnerable even thinking about starting couple therapy can feel.
Here's how I can help: I can offer a space for you and your partner to sort through your challenges with fair representation of both partners; I can coach you on how to communicate respectfully and effectively, as well as how to address the core issues that are causing you pain; I can help you find ways to connect with each other that are unique to your relationship, as well as attainable and effective long-term; I can help you to find options to issues that have felt like they have no solutions; ultimately, I can help you to build security in your relationship so that you feel confident in your agreements, connection, and purpose as a couple.
Does this sound like it would be helpful for you? Good! Next step is to fill out my contact form to get in contact with me directly. Let's get you the support you need to feel secure in your relationship. 🙂
